Show A UNIQUE sectionalized POWER the el tajo mining company of san sebastian state of jalisco mexico ha has s recently ordered a very unique sectionalized power plant to supply power for its new mill the head of water available 1 is s feet and there is being supplied a special la I 1 pelton water wheel of the two unit type capable calab ae of developing horsepower at this head when running at 1200 r p m wih this water wheel will be supplied two pairs of jaw clutch couplings thus rendering it possible to disconnect either of the two generators which are driven by this wheel the water wheel will be sectionalized for mule back transportation and no piece will weigh over pounds A mechanical ch anical governor will be furnished to control the water wheel the two generators to be driven by this wheel as with all the electrical apparatus came from the works of the westinghouse electric and mfg mag co and will be of 50 K W capacity each these also will be sectionalized in pieces not weighing pounds these generators will be 3 phase GO cycles volts and run at a speed of 1200 r p in corresponding to the water wheel they will have extended shafts for belt driving the exciters excite rs the generating station also provides for the usual switchboard lightning arresters and protection apparatus the power generated is to be consumed at the mill by various alternating current motors one of which belt drives the stamp mill line shaft at a speed of r p m resulting in drops per minute the tube mill line shaft runs duits at r p in the mill itself making thirty seven revola i evolutions per m minute anute other motors are seat scat 4 about the mill for the usual drives in a mill of this kind since the generating plant is located close to the mill the generator gives volts and the motors employed are for volts the lighting is taken care of by separate transformers mckeever bros of philadelphia are largely largel y interested in this property and the manager of the plant is mr robert H likly the equipment is being supplied by G 0 braniff go co of mexico who represent the manufactures of the machinery purchased |
